OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I got a letter yesterday and he said they earned their flag for passing drill inspections and he was really upbeat.  Didn't mention battlestations at all.  I think if it is when I think it is, then we won't get a call until we are on the way there.  I can't believe that we are now officially less than a  week away!

What is blue candle light prayer and does anyone know if this is true, I read on navy dads that people with military ids dont count against the 4 guests that can go to graduation. I was looking up the webpage for my sr's dad and saw that.

also if you are staying on base do you still need a parking pass?or if you have a military id do you need a parking pass????

I cannot say for sure, but I would print the parking pass out anyway.  Always good to be more than preparred than to be under preparred and cannot get on base.

ladies. just got a call. him along with a few other sailors had to take an additional breathing test because they had asthma on their records. they all failed the breathing and were given a medical discharge. he is devastated. one week from graduation. he had passed all of his tests. upset because this test was not given earlier.

I just don't get it.

I missed you earlier and I'm sorry for you and your recruit as well.  Hopefully they will be able to challenge it; they should catch this type of thing at MEPS and not this late in the game.  My prayers are with you also.
